Not attending? Your suppliers can still deliver straight to our China warehouse.
One chain, no handoffs

Most forwarders meet your cargo at the port. We take it from the factory floor.

You buy from your own suppliers. They deliver to our China warehouse, or we collect from them — and from that moment it is one accountable team: consolidation, export clearance, freight, import customs and last-mile delivery to your address.

LCL & consolidation

Not enough cargo for a full container? Ship it by the cubic metre.

LCL — less than container load — puts your pallets in a shared container alongside other shippers' cargo, so you pay for the space you actually use. A 3 CBM order sails on the same weekly service as a full one. We consolidate in our own China warehouse, which means several suppliers arrive as a single line on one bill of lading.

How LCL is priced

Sea LCL is charged on whichever is greater: your volume in cubic metres, or your weight in tonnes. One CBM is treated as 1,000 kg — the industry's weight-or-measurement rule. Dense cargo pays on weight; light, bulky cargo pays on volume.

CBM
Length × width × height in metres, per carton or pallet. Measured after packing, so pallet feet and shrink wrap count.
The W/M rule
1 CBM counts as 1,000 kg. We quote against whichever of the two numbers is higher for your load.
Minimum charge
China–Middle East consolidations normally start at 1 CBM. Below that, express is usually the cheaper door-to-door option.
Destination charges
LCL adds CFS handling and deconsolidation on arrival. We quote those upfront so nothing lands as a surprise invoice.

LCL, full container or air — which one fits

LCL — shared container

Roughly 1–15 CBM, when cost matters more than speed

Volume
About 1 to 15 cubic metres
Transit
The sea leg, plus 3–7 days for consolidation at origin and deconsolidation on arrival
Cost
Charged per CBM — you pay only for the space you occupy
Watch for
Destination CFS and handling fees, and more touchpoints than a sealed container

FCL — full container

15 CBM and up, or fragile and high-volume cargo

Volume
A 20ft holds around 28 CBM of usable space, a 40ft high cube around 68 CBM
Transit
The fastest sea option — no consolidation or deconsolidation step at all
Cost
One flat rate for the box, so the cost per CBM falls the fuller you load it
Watch for
You pay for the whole container even if it sails half empty

Air & express

Urgent, light or high-value cargo

Volume
Anything from a single carton up, priced on chargeable weight
Transit
3–6 days airport to airport, or 2–5 days door to door by express
Cost
Highest per kilo, but nothing sits on the water for a month
Watch for
Volumetric weight — light, bulky cargo is charged on its size, not the scale
  1. 01

    Book your CBM

    Send the packing list. We confirm the volume, the chargeable weight and the next sailing.

  2. 02

    Suppliers deliver to us

    Every supplier ships to our China warehouse — or we collect from them. We receive, check and log each consignment against your order.

  3. 03

    Consolidate and load

    Cartons are re-palletised and loaded into the shared container, with export clearance filed as one shipment.

  4. 04

    Deconsolidate and deliver

    On arrival we clear customs, break the load out at the CFS and run last-mile delivery to your door.

Send a packing list and we'll come back with the CBM, the chargeable weight and one all-in door-to-door rate.

Common questions

China to the Middle East, answered.

Which Middle East countries do you ship to?+

Door to door into the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam, Doha, Kuwait City, Manama and Muscat. For Jordan, Iraq, Egypt or Lebanon, message us and we'll quote the lane.

Do you handle door-to-door shipping, or only port to port?+

Full door to door: collection in China — or your supplier delivers to our warehouse — then consolidation, export clearance, FCL, LCL, air or express freight, import customs in your country, and delivery to your address.

How long does shipping from China to the UAE, Saudi Arabia or Qatar take?+

By sea, typically 18–24 days to the UAE, 20–28 to Saudi Arabia, 18–26 to Oman, and 22–30 to Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain. Air is 3–5 days to Dubai and 4–6 days to the rest; express runs 2–5 days. We confirm your exact window at quote time.

Who handles customs duties and VAT on arrival?+

We do — classification, documentation, duty and VAT with licensed brokers in each country, including SASO / Saber certification for Saudi Arabia and ECAS conformity for the UAE.

Can you consolidate orders from several suppliers into one shipment?+

Yes — that is the core of what we do. We combine multiple suppliers in our China warehouse and export one consolidated load, which cuts your freight cost and gives you a single bill of lading to track.

What is LCL shipping, and when is it better than a full container?+

LCL (less than container load) shares one container between several shippers, so you pay for the cubic metres you occupy rather than a whole box. It usually wins from around 1 CBM up to about 13–15 CBM; above that, a 20ft full container is generally cheaper per cubic metre.

How is LCL freight from China to the Middle East priced?+

On volume or weight, whichever is greater — the weight-or-measurement rule, where 1 CBM counts as 1,000 kg. On top of the sea freight sit origin handling, destination CFS and deconsolidation, customs duty and last-mile delivery. We quote all of it as one door-to-door figure.

How do I calculate the CBM of my shipment?+

Multiply length × width × height in metres for one carton, multiply that by the number of cartons, then add your cartons together. Use the packed dimensions — pallets and shrink wrap count towards the volume you are charged for.

Is LCL slower than a full container?+

Slightly. The sea leg is identical, but LCL adds consolidation in China and deconsolidation at the destination CFS — typically 3–7 days in total. We build that into the window we quote you.

Do you source products or find factories for me?+

No — we are a freight consolidator and forwarder, not a sourcing agent. You buy from your own suppliers. We take it from there: collection or delivery into our China warehouse, consolidation, freight, customs and delivery to your door in the Middle East.

Can my supplier deliver straight to your warehouse?+

Yes, and it is the most common way in. Send us your supplier's details and we issue delivery instructions with your warehouse reference. We check every carton in against your packing list as it arrives.

Do you support Canton Fair buyers?+

Yes — consolidation is exactly what the fair calls for. Your suppliers deliver to our warehouse, or we collect from them, and everything you buy across the phases ships home as one door-to-door consignment. Not attending? Your suppliers can still deliver to us directly.
